Thanks for your answer. I was asking as I read there has been some research completed in the UK last year which found that these ang11 drugs may inhibit the growth of pancreatic tumours. Is there any more information on this?

I'm not familiar with the research on pancreatic cancer.  Your pharmacsit or physician may be able to point you in the right direction.
